Bathrooms come in all shapes and sizes, as do the budgets to create them. Whether you're putting together an en suite from scratch or revamping a wet room, the most important thing to think about first and foremost is who will use the bathroom and how, as this will affect how you design it. Some key things to think about are:

Is it a family bathroom?

If so, you'll probably want to factor in lots of storage space.

Do you always shower and rarely bathe?

Consider a standalone shower or wet room instead of installing a bath you won't use. If you like baths and showers, a bath with a shower it gives you a flexible option.

Is space at a premium?

Think about how you could incorporate storage cupboards on the walls rather than floor – maybe above the bath or even built in underneath.

Do you want to use your bathroom to relax in?

Consider getting a freestanding bath for a luxurious feel, and having somewhere close by to store candles and magazines.

Are you a couple sharing the bathroom? How about getting two basins to make getting ready in the morning less chaotic?

If someone will be using it to do make-up or dress in, then you'll want to make sure there is plenty of light and a decent-sized mirror. Asking yourself these questions will help you refine the little changes to make or elements to incorporate that will make a lot of difference to your bathroom and your enjoyment of it.
